Waterborne Adhesives

Acrylic Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs) are tremendously versatile! They have low-cost and a broad performance range: from ultra-removable to ultra-high adhesion depending on the formulation. Due to this benefit, the application of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) based on acrylics is increasing greatly in a variety of label and packaging applications.

Dispersing agents are essential formulation components in adhesives and sealants to effectively disperse fillers or solid particles. They provide electrostatic or steric stabilization to prevent particles from flocculating, thereby eliminate any viscosity change and phase separation. While creating a new formulation, one must choose dispersing agents with appropriate dosage level for specific product & end-user requirements.
